Hello my friends from across the pond!
I completely new to cider so be gentle :) I would appreciate any type of help regarding a yeast to use for Pear Cider. (Perry I believe it's called)
I have had some recommendations of:
Red Star Champagne (Finishes bone dry)
WhiteLabs WLP002 English Ale (ââ¬ÅCrisp apple aroma. Clean fermentation character. Low esters, low phenols. Showcases apple aroma.ââ¬Â ââ¬ÅVery light straw color, slight haze.ââ¬Â ââ¬ÅSweet apple, finishes a bit sweet. Balance towards sweetness over acid. Med. body, petillant carb, medium alcohol, very crisp finish.ââ¬Â)
Whitelabs WLP028 Edinburgh Ale (Crisp apple aroma with a light fruity ester " flowery like aromas. Very pleasant.ââ¬Â ââ¬ÅVery clear, very pale gold.ââ¬Â ââ¬ÅVery low sweetness, tart apple, moderate complexity, medium acid.ââ¬Â)
I am looking to make a dry batch, and a sweet batch. And go from there.
Again I am completely new to all of this, but have read through some of these forums and it would be great to receive any input.
Thanks again!
